Designed to foster critical thinking and self-reflection, this resource covers 10 key workplace dilemmas that students might face in their future careers. From dealing with "borrowed" supplies and plagiarism to clocking in early and managing work-life balance, this workbook encourages students to explore the consequences of ethical decision-making in a professional environment.

What’s Inside:

• 10 Realistic Workplace Scenarios: Each section presents a detailed situation students could encounter at work, such as deciding when borrowing becomes stealing or whether to exaggerate a customer complaint.
• Diverse Activities: Reflection questions, group discussions, case studies, role-playing exercises, and pros/cons lists engage students in active learning.
• Final Comprehensive Activity: Students apply all their knowledge in a culminating exercise that challenges them to navigate multiple ethical dilemmas in a fictional workplace, using critical thinking to make informed decisions.
• Reflection and Code of Conduct Creation: Students wrap up the workbook by reflecting on what they’ve learned and developing their own ethical code of conduct for a workplace.

Why This Resource is Essential for Your Classroom:

   Under pressure, an employee considers copying material from the internet without credit. Students reflect on the ethical implications of plagiarism in the workplace and its potential consequences.

   An employee is asked to promote a product known for poor quality. Students explore the balance between honesty and tact, and discuss when honesty should take priority over making a sale.
5. The Expense Report Enigma: Separating Business from Personal
   An employee adds a personal meal to a business expense report. Students evaluate the ethical line between legitimate business expenses and crossing into dishonest reporting.
6. The Social Media Spy: When Online Monitoring Goes Too Far
   An employer monitors personal social media accounts and disciplines an employee for off-work behavior. Students examine the balance between workplace policies and employees’ right to privacy.
7. The Budget Blues: Cutting Corners vs. Ethical Practices
   A manager suggests cutting safety measures to save money. Students weigh the benefits of cost-cutting against the risks to safety and quality in a business environment.
